Keyword, "in the US".

They figured out it's parasites

It's interesting that hundreds of doctors and other medical professionals all contributed to the evolution of treatment for appendicitis, and my best friend still came within inches of death from a ruptured appendix, as he was repeatedly sent home from the ER with a "tummy ache."

I work with street dogs a lot. Every year I'm either bitten or scratched by a stay dog. My local nurse knows me personally by this point because of the number of times I have gotten the injection. I never take that chance.

It's good to see that you are making the distinction that tar causes cancer, not nicotine.

My BMI is overweight, alledgedly, but I simply CANNOT force my body to lose those last 5 kilos. It will rebel and I find myself driven to eat a lot more to regain the lost weight. I'm not sure why this happens but it's very consistent: at 175cm in height, I can get down to 80kg but no lower, at least not without massive bodily protest. Even if I am overweight (which I think I might be) I cannot fix it without my body very clearly telling me to shut up and stop imposing on it. And it's not like I overeat or anything. 1200-2000 calories a day and I just hang around the same weight, unable to reach that mythically healthy BMI.

do you follow John greens efforts to eradicate TB??

Interestingly. A friend of the family was suspected of appendicitis and that was the official diagnosis, until an old doctor re-examined and determined it was actually an ectopic pregnancy and she was rushed to surgery and she was saved.

i have no idea how i got subscribed here, but definitely the content i like. Glad to have it on my subscription page

no one asked to look at my random bits when I got a laprascopic surgery. boring

The entire placebo effect is due to the trillions of microorganisms which live in your gut.

Asian people aren't "people of color". They wanna be included in that oppression stack SO BAD but it falls so flat since Asians are the most prosperous racial group in America.

This was very interesting and well told. Thank you!

In medical ethics, you have to inform the patient that its placebo - that doesn't wrap sense on me unless you said it after they received it.

I seem to fall into the "nocebo" category, sort of. It’s not about negative effects from placebos for me, but more that when I don’t believe a medication will be effective, it often isn’t. I’m autistic and tend to think extremely logically about things. I also have a host of serious illnesses that are very, very real - like Type 1 Diabetes, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, and a degenerative neurological disease that is robbing me of my mobility…painfully. I have some diagnosed illnesses that aren’t what I’d consider "real," but we can’t find a better diagnosis. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is one. I sleep 11-14 hours every day and I’m exhausted during the hours I’m awake. It’s gone in for nearly five years. If I don’t get my 11-14 hours of sleep every day, I end up sleeping 18-20 hours after two or three days. I never believed CFS to be a "real" disease and I’m convinced there’s something going on that my doctors have missed, but I’ve had every test and scan imaginable multiple times and nothing has made itself apparent. I take all sorts of medications. Insulin, obviously, which has measurable effects. Many of the other medications I take aren’t as "measurable" in their effects, though. I’ve taken all sorts of medications for pain and other neurological symptoms. Many don’t seem to do anything. I’ve been told by my psychiatrist that my negative attitude toward medication might be causing me to feel that I’m receiving no benefit from certain medications. There are medications I’ve been prescribed that I don’t believe will work to treat my symptoms. And, about half the time, they don’t. Some surprise me. Certain medications for nerve pain worked far better than I could have ever expected. If I forget a dose, I really feel it. Other medications for inflammation don’t help my pain at all. As I’m highly depressed most of the time, I’ve taken all sorts of medications to treat depression. I’ve only ever taken one that had a noticeable effect on my depression. Of course, I had a severe reaction to it due to liver toxicity (which nearly killed me because liver toxicity wasn’t a known side effect of that particular drug and therefore I wasn’t taken off that drug for months while we searched in vain for the cause of my liver failure). So the only medication I’ve ever found to effectively treat my depression is one I can’t take. Fun! Anyway, I don’t technically suffer from the "nocebo" effect, but I seem to suffer from something related to it. I’ve tried to make myself believe that a drug would work, but you can’t force yourself to believe in something you don’t actually believe in. It’s why I’m an atheist despite growing up in a very religious household and having gone through extensive religious education. There is zero evidence for anything supernatural - gods, angels, ghosts, spirits, demons, whatever - so I don’t believe they’re real. Thus, "believing" that a medication will work when I’ve seen no evidence for its efficacy doesn’t do it for me. Anyway, that’s my story. I absolutely love watching you, Patrick Kelly, so I always try to comment on your videos to help boost their position in the almighty algorithm. You make such intelligent, thought-provoking content. You’re also adorably cute, which I probably shouldn’t say but I have no filter so what the heck…

Germs come from Germany!

Pointing metal objects or any instrument at pain or wound, then approaching that spot can cause the pain to stop briefly from the anxiety or nervous fear response. The idea that a worse pain is about to happen, causes something to happen mentally or physically. I have felt it plenty of times.

That Liquid Death part I just want to point this out: It doesn't look like an energy drink, it looks alcoholic canned drink. Which is the purpose of these drinks to look like you're drinking alcohol. It's even marketed as being canned from Austrian Alp water, it's quite literally pulling on Austria's famous wine, and Germany's famous beer reputation. It was inspired by people drinking water out of monster cans at concerts but it's biggest pull and intent is to look like an alcoholic drink similar to that of White Claw and Mikes Hard.

Over time you've become one of my favourite channels. Keep up the good work and consistency! I love learning these things.

my poor rabbits and dogs T_T

WOAH GET THAT FREAK IN A DRESS OFF MY SCREEN

Im am infertile from eating scented candles. The

👨‍⚕

LAPAROSCOPIC NUMBERS ARE SKEWED...ALL SURGERIES ARE SCHED. AS LAPS..THEY COST MORE, YET OFTEN NORMAL SURG IS REQUIRED @ TIME OF SURGERY... I AM PROOF OF THAT. PAID FOR LAP & FRANKENSTEIN SCAR.......

I always think about Madeline getting her appendix removed and saying “voila, my scar!”

The placebo effect cannot help somebody when they are dope sick

Buying up smaller companies and raising prices should be good: it encourages people to start more smaller companies.

The act requiring efficacy was arguably one of the big drivers of cost in drug research, and also of slowing down the pace of new drug discoveries. (As said later in the video.) Compare and contrast how your doctor can prescribe you any medication for any ailment off-label, even if the FDA only has efficacy trials for one specific ailment.

Thank you as a med student i felt disconnected from what i study your videos are hyping me up again

People go to galileo when they are picked apart by the scientific community dude galielo got fucked by politics not other scientists

That's funny.... I am literally minutes from heading into the hospital for a scheduled laparoscopic appendectomy. Score a creepy point for the algorithm! It exploded last month, and the surgeon said it would be better to let things settle before gong in. A cutter that doesn't want to cut - surprising! I have been told that it might be an outpatient procedure. He explained a contingency in the event that part of the intestine needs to be debrided, I'll be in the hospital for a few days, as they will need to remove and staple parts of the intestine and colon. They won't know until they get in there under the hood. He said I'm doing really well, though, and that contingency is unlikely. I've had a drain in for a month or so now.... it will be so nice to be able to sleep on my right side and take a proper shower again!!!

I just had an Appendectomy in Japan. They removed it and it was hard as a rock.

I ain’t got a story. Don’t go to doctors so been diagnosed with nothing.

My placebo is making a decaf cup of coffee every now and then to trick my brain into believing I’m having caffeine and that way I don’t have withdrawal symptoms. It’s unbelievable how effective this simple trick can be.

Thank you so much for this, I've always wondered the history of this. I feel like people give waaaay to much credit to the placebo, the regression to the mean makes perfect sense.

It's wild to me that it's possible to feel the placebo effect even if you KNOW what you're taking isn't real. The mind, the body, our memories, our perception... what an incredible system we are.

Obsessed with everything you upload. I guess I’ll be tucking into bed with a little anthrax lesson. Cheers 🥂 😂

I watched legally blonde about two weeks ago and it still took me a second to realize 😂

A number of novel treatments started in the early 1900's. My readings indicate the equivalent of the FDA shut them down.

It wasn't just painful. It was outright detrimental

I think a really interesting line of placebo investigation is with GLP-1 medications, especially some of the newest ones in clinical trials, CagriSema and retatrutide. Both of them are exceedingly potent at causing weight loss and Aunt, the ladder is extremely potent at improving cardiometabolic measures such as cholesterol and triglycerides, it makes me wonder is it ethical to continue to do placebo-controlled trials when we know something works that well? And how do you keep it truly blinded when patients are losing a quarter of their body weight over the course of a year. Really makes for an interesting dilemma for trial design And brings up questions of ethicality with placebos

Great video, thank you very much, note to self (nts) watched all of it ,

I feel so bad for these placebo patients. Placebos are unethical, in my opinion.

Messing with people's pain is so messed up... As someone who has been suffering from slipped and herniated discs for the last 15 years, without any medicine for many many of those years. Then when it was at it's worst after reinjury, being given Tylenol that messed up my liver and gave no relief. I can't imagine having surgery and then being given NOTHING. TWICE. Being given naloxone that makes the pain worse?... I've already been in so much agony for so long I was seriously considering ending it just to escape the pain.. I'd absolutely throw a fit and have heads on platters. Yeah your experiment doesn't work if they know, but giving someone something they expect to help with pain, knowing that does nothing, or with naloxone does the OPPOSITE. That's absolutely criminal. Do those tests on your own family and see how you feel about it after.

11:53 the legally blonde reference has me cackling 😂🙈

"Happy people just don't shoot their husbands." 😂

I had my healthy appendix removed so the remainder of a possibly cancerous intestinal polyp could be removed. The appendix was blocking the total removal via colonoscopy. Turns out the polyp wasn't cancerous but I would do it again.
